Acupuncture leads to finger movement for Hong Kong Mirror dancer Mo Li who suffered serious concert injuries, father says

Mo Li, a Hong Kong-based dancer, suffered severe injuries last year when a large video screen collapsed on him during a concert by the boy band Mirror. However, recent reports indicate that he has begun to regain movement in his fingers. This development comes as doctors prepare to consult with a Canadian specialist next month. Reverend Derek Li Shing-lam, Mo Li's father, revealed that his son has been undergoing acupuncture treatment. This treatment has stimulated cerebral nerve responses, leading to movement in the fingers of his left hand. Reverend Li expressed hope that the treatment could stimulate all major and minor nerves, including cervical and spinal nerves. He also hopes that it could help maintain the health and strength of his son's major and minor muscles, as well as internal organs. The acupuncture treatment is performed on Mo Li's stomach, head, hands, and feet. It involves the use of 40 needles targeting various areas, including bowel and urinary control, blood circulation, limb senses, and nervous system responses. Reverend Li also disclosed that Hong Kong doctors plan to discuss his son's condition with a spinal injuries expert from Canada, who is hopeful of a breakthrough in the case. Mo Li recently celebrated his 29th birthday in the hospital, with a surprise party organized by one of the professors involved in his case. Reverend Li expressed gratitude to Professor Lau for organizing the surprise birthday party, which included roasted pork and a birthday cake. He also mentioned that the occasion served as a great source of encouragement for his son during his lengthy therapy. Reverend Li requested prayers from supporters for improvement in his son's condition over the next year, with the hope that he might regain mobility by his next birthday. Mo Li suffered severe spinal injuries on July 28 last year when a four-by-four-metre screen suspended from a gantry above the stage at the Hong Kong Coliseum fell, hitting him and fellow performer Chang Tsz-fung. Mo Li was the most severely affected, with the risk of permanent paralysis from the neck down. However, Reverend Li reported that his son has made progress in his long rehabilitation journey, including taking his first steps with the help of an exoskeleton device in June. Five people were arrested last November in connection with the incident, four of them staff from concert main contractor Engineering Impact. The other was a senior technician from subcontractor Hip Hing Loong. Three individuals from Engineering Impact have been charged with a joint count of conspiracy to defraud and appeared in court in February.
